New Busch Stadium damaged during destruction of old Busch

[mjohnson71]

I'm no engineer, but could have told you this was going to happen.

 

Apparently the framework for the new jumbotron/scoreboard of Busch Stadium 3 was damaged recently by falling debris from Busch Stadium 2.

Blow it up. Start over.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

ooops...that can't be good.

cardinals cancelled in 2006

 

cubs still lose division to astros, and wild card to brewers

Apparently a few days ago on the other side of the stadium they destroyed a supervisors truck when he parked in the wrong place and debris fell on it. :lol:

one step closer to finding a way to keep the cubs from finishing 6th

Drop a nuke on the whole thing and start over. And by the whole thing, I mean St. Louis.

My sister is in St. Louis (SLU) :cry: Can't we just concentrate on the Cardinal's stadium, players, and maybe fans?

Actually now that I think of it, go ahead and nuke the whole city, just make sure its over the Thanksgiving holiday.

That way you get lots of people from out of town in the blast? :?

 

Tell me you don't work at the pentagon. :shock:

There goes that offer to AJ Burnett. Those stadiums aren't cheap, especially when you have to build them twice.

Twice nothing - I say build the new one inside the two that have to be destroyed; then there's little or no chance of falling debris from either one of them touching that one.

It's not really a baseball park. It's just a large urinal.

But at least they have a 600 foot tall arch

that's just the toilet seat. i feel bad for all the female Cards fans. having a toilet seat permanently in the upright position can't be good for male/female relations in that city.

I know I have been scarce, but lets not blow up the Andi. My office is like one of those cheap hotel beds. All the tearing down has made the downtown area feel like a earth quake vault. You would be amazed at the amount of people down here 24/7 to watch them tear this thing down. There were a lot of people wearing Cubs gear the first day they dropped the wrecking ball. ;)

This is Andi's first post in over 4 months.

Andi! Welcome back.

Wait, so you can't demolish an old, large building right next to a new building? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[bhogg]

shoot, that's nothin' a little caulk and duct tape won't fix.

 

carry on. . .

That's true. 95% of the world's problems can be fixed with duct tape.

 

Leaky pipe? Use duct tape.

Rip in the seam of your tent? Use duct tape.

Girlfriend won't shut up? Use duct tape.

Falling debris. Heh. You never hear anything like that happening at Wrigley....

Duct tape is kind of like the force. A light and dark side it has. Binds the universe together it does.
